PhotoSculpt Software (29 entries)

• Will there be a Mac version of PhotoSculpt Textures?
  This is not possible right now to migrate Photosculpt to the Mac platform.  Note: A user have successfully run PhotoSculpt on Mac using virtualisation software, click here for ...
• Can I build 3D models using more than 2 photos ?
  No, using more than 2 photos requires entirely different algorithms than the ones that photosculpt is builded on.
• What are the current limitations of the program ?
  PhotoSculpt textures don't like subjects that are: too deep too uniform with no local detail shiny  ...
• What image formats are accepted ?
  Jpg, Bmp, Png and Tif
• What is the spatial resolution obtained ?
  In x and y, resolution is very high, comparable to the camera resolution, in z the resolution is usually smaller.
• Can I force some key points using the program?
  No. It's all automatic. We may reconsider this as we are currently testing this idea. See the "Menu/?/Laboratory" if you want to try our first concepts.  ...
• What are the tolerances for shooting ?
  About 10 degrees.
• Can I take many photos around the subject so that I can have the full model?
  No, as this would need to be an entirely different program.
• What resolution in megapixel is needed for the photos?
  We recommend cameras between 5 megapixel and 12 megapixel for optimum results.
• Can I sew together multiple models in order to reconstruct a full 360° 3D model?
  This is not possible today within PhotoSculpt Textures, but you can try this using some other software.
• Can PhotoSculpt Textures create the 3D model of a person's face?
  Yes, but warning : Faces are difficult subjects as there is often only very little surface detail to match between photos. hint: Soft lighting is best ...
• What are the current limitations of the program ?
  PhotoSculpt textures cannot work well on subjects that are: shiny (like cars) too uniform with no local detail (like modern houses and buildings) ...
• Can I easily remove background from the model ?
  There is an alpha masking option to do that. You need to create a black and white only image that you can load with photosculpt. Black ...
• Does PhotoSculpt Textures uses CUDA or other GPU computing ?
  No
• Does PhotoSculpt Textures uses multithread to compute 3d models ?
  Not fully as it's limited to 2 threads today. - 1 thread computes the 3d model - 1 thread deals with the interface buttons + windows handling ...
• How fast does it works?
  The first low polygon model is displayed on screen in about 1 second. The model resolution increase quickly over time, with immediate feed back on screen.  ...
• Will there be a Iphone version of PhotoSculpt Textures?
  This is not possible right now and also unlikely for the near future, unless hardwares improve dramatically. 
• What are the recommended lighting and shooting conditions to get optimised result?
  This question is answered by the shooting tutorial.
• Does shooting at different daytime changes the result as 3d model?
  Yes it can. Very dark shadows or low contrast conditions are detrimental to the precision of the model. 
• Can I use the built-in camera flash / a camera-mounted cobra flash ?
  This is not recommended. You can have artefacts issues as on-camera flashes makes the light change between shots.
• What payment methods are accepted?
  PayPal Credit Card
• Are custommer banking information transiting or stored anywhere at PhotoSculpt?
  No. Our PhotoSculpt server never get access to custommer banking information for security reasons.
• Who can apply for the "non-profit licence" ?
  In order to apply for the FREE non-profit licence , you need to be: journalist professor scientist  ...
• Where can I find more details about the licences?
  Here below, click to download the .pdf files Individual license Professional license Company license Texture license  ...
• Can I use the "Individual" License to do artwork for sale?
  Yes you can.
• Individual license: Does the purchase price include future updates free of charge?
  It's as usual. If you purchase v1.0 then all future v1.1, v1.2, v1.3, ..., up to v1.99 versions are free for you. For v2.0 and above you ...
• Are there any differences between licenses in term of functionality?
  No. The softwares are functionally exactly the same. The only difference is the license contract (transferable or not, number of users).
• Is PhotoSculpt Textures Portable?
  Yes, PhotoSculpt is entirely portable (=Does not need an internet connection to work)
• Why is Photosculpt Textures software different?
  Because our PhotoSculpt Textures software uses a new binocular vision algorithm: It uses 2 photos of the same subject for a perfect depth analysis of the ...
